So in that case bs=4096 is OK. The next issue: >> if=/dev/sdc2 skip=$((245547520-33024)) seek=0 of=/dev/sdc2 You have a skip (skip n block from input) value well inside of sdc2. It seems you should have skipped from sdc not sdc2, and should have used the old start value for sdc2 which was just 245547520, and you needed to specify a count value in order to get the correct number of blocks, which would have been 732566527-245547520. Then write those blocks to sdc2 (which makes seek= unnecessary).
